Chapter 196: Mei Niang's Patience
Mrs. Chen and her daughter were companions, and when they came to Mei Niang's residence, Xiaoru was playing in the yard, and when she saw Mrs. Chen and Chen Die coming in, she hurriedly ran into the room in fright, closed the door and didn't dare to come out.
Chen Die grinned when she saw Xiaoru and her mother entering the door, not only did she not say hello, but also closed the door and did not let them in; "This maid, why doesn't she understand any etiquette?"
Mrs. Chen looked at her daughter Chen Die and asked: I think she seems to be very afraid of you, did you scare her? ”
Chen Die looked at her mother and said, "I think she is more afraid of you, have you forgotten, last time we partnered to order someone to throw their master's and servant's luggage on the street." and drove out their servants and servants. ”
"Well, it seems that there is such a thing, but this little girl is a little less daring!" Old Madam Chen thought for a while and said:
"According to the people in the house, she seems to be less than ten years old. It's no wonder that the guts are so small. ”
Mrs. Chen instructed her daughter, "Fluttershy, go knock on the door and let Mei Niang come out to meet us." ”
Chen Die stepped forward and knocked on the door, Mei Niang was in the room, heard someone knocking on the door, and hurriedly said to Xiaoru: "Xiaoru someone is coming, go and open the door." ”
After waiting for a while, Mei Niang heard the sound of knocking on the door, so she hurriedly came to the door, and saw Xiaoru guarding the door, not opening the door, and asked curiously: "Xiaoru, why don't you open the door?" ”
Xiao Ru said with a timid look: "Miss is Mrs. Chen and Miss Chen, they won't want to drive us out of the house again!" ”
Mei Niang grinned: "Even then, you have to open the door!" ”
"I don't want to open it, I don't want to see their mother and daughter."
"Good sister, open the door and let them in, and wait for them to come in," Mei Niang persuaded her.
"Then what if they want to drive us out of Shangshu Mansion again?" Xiao Ru said worriedly.
"I don't think this time. If they want to kick us out. You go and call Grandpa Chen and my brother over. Mei Niang explained to Xiaoru.
"I know my sister," Xiao Ru knew that except for Chen Bo and Chen Shangshu, who were kind to her sister in this Shangshu, everyone else could not be trusted.
"Open the door and let them in!"
Xiaoru opened the door, looked at Chen Die's mother and daughter standing at the door, and said, "Sister let you in." ”
Old Madam Chen was also not polite, stepped in, then found a chair to sit on, looked at Mei Niang and said: "Mei Niang didn't say you, your little maid should really take care of it, not only did she not say hello when she saw us, but also closed the door and didn't let us in, I really don't understand the rules at all." ”
Mei Niang heard Mrs. Chen say that Xiaoru had no rules, so she hurriedly argued; "Xiaoru is young and timid, maybe she still remembers the last time we were driven to the street, and just now you told me that you are afraid that you will drive us out of Shangshu Mansion again."
"As long as you are well, I will not drive your master and servant out of the house." Old Madam Chen looked at Mei Niang and said.
Seeing that Mrs. Chen sat on the chair and didn't leave, Mei Niang hurriedly asked, "I don't know if my mother-in-law came to me, what is the so-called matter?" ”
"There's nothing else, it's just that your father-in-law's money is only five or six hundred taels of silver all year round, supporting dozens of people in our house, old and young, a little difficult, thinking that you who have the ability can give some silver to supplement the family." Mrs. Chen unceremoniously named Mei Niang.
Mei Niang pouted. This Mrs. Chen showed that she didn't want to support herself in vain, but she wanted to pay her own money, which was called subsidizing her family.
Seeing that Mei Niang was silent, Mrs. Chen asked again: "Mei Niang, you also know, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and the position of the head of the house is not so easy to do." I have to worry about firewood, rice, oil and salt every day. Your father-in-law has little money, where did we go to Lu Caiyun just now, and she agreed to take out thirty taels of silver every month to supplement the family. ”
Mei Niang is not stupid, Mrs. Chen shows that if you want to continue to stay in Shangshu Mansion, you have to get silver, and the eldest lady will pay thirty taels, and you can't go anywhere.
Mei Niang smiled, she entered the Shangshu Mansion by herself, she had no income at all, and she still wanted to let herself eat the old book, but that was not good. But it was not easy to refuse, so she hurriedly coped: "Mother-in-law, Mei Niang is not out of silver, but she can't take out so much at once, you also know sister, they drive silk Zhuangzi, I have no other source of income, otherwise, I pawned some jewelry, and exchanged it for silver to send to you, what do you think?" ”
"What jewelry, take a look." As soon as Chen Die heard Mei Niang say that she wanted to pawn jewelry, she was busy and curious, you must know that Mei Niang was in the Qinglou before, and there must be a man who gave her jewelry, since it is a gift of jewelry, it must be the best.
"It's gone. Mei Niang didn't have a good impression of Chen Die, saying that it was a pawn jewelry, and it was also a delaying tactic, so she wouldn't take out the jewelry to show Chen Die.
Mrs. Chen saw her daughter's greedy appearance, for fear that she would get out of the way, and hurriedly reprimanded, "Fluttershy, what are you doing?" ”
Chen Die saw her mother reprimanding herself, and hurriedly explained: "I just want to see the third sister-in-law's jewelry." I didn't say I wanted her, mother, what are you shouting? ”
"Okay, since your third sister-in-law said that when she became jewelry, she would give two pieces of silver to supplement the family, then let's go back.1 Let their master and servant have a good rest, and when they are rested, they can go to be used as jewelry for silver and two subsidies to supplement the family." Mrs. Chen said to her daughter.
Seeing Chen Die's mother and daughter leaving, Xiao Ru looked at this Mei Niang and asked worriedly, "Sister,." Do you really promise them to pawn jewelry and take out silver taels to supplement the family? You must know that you only have a few pieces of jewelry, and even if you pawn them, you can't satisfy their appetite. ”
"Xiaoru, sister, I'm just talking, that's just a delaying tactic, I won't be used as jewelry and give the silver to their mother and daughter." Mei Niang is not stupid, these two must be trying to cheat the two of silver from themselves, what is the subsidy for the family, the thirty taels of silver given by Lu Caiyun are enough to buy food in Shangshufu. Grocery shopping. Eat for a month, not to mention that Lord Shangshu also has a silver tael every month,
"How is the sister going to deal with the mother and daughter? I think that if my sister can't give them the silver taels, they won't give up, and they will drive our master and servant out of the house again. Xiao Ru sighed and said.
"Xiaoru, you don't have to worry, I'll go to the young master and ask him to help us sue Mrs. Chen and Miss Chen in front of Chen Shangshu, and see if they still ask us for silver." Mei Niang said fiercely, she believed that this old lady Chen and her daughter must have come to Chen Shangshu to ask for silver from her, otherwise, with Chen Shangshu's upright temperament, she would not ask for two silver subsidies to supplement her family from a person who has no source of income.
